In 11th, Hellblaster guns now D2 base and their "shoot-in-death" ability are replaced with +1 to Hazard rolls. Making them overcharge plasma shoot little safer

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Sternguards Combi-weapons now have 3 profiles can choose to shoot. From rapid bolter fire to D3+2 (Melta 2) damage shot. Personally think this is better than previous Anti-Infantry + Dev Wounds rule. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

With Tyranid Parasite of Mortrex & Red Terror return as unit in game, curious will we get to see Doom of Malan'tai in foreseeable future as well. Expected it to be an more powerful version Neurotyrant #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Hardly see Necron players use Psychomancer in 40k games previous edition. Understandable since its ability only give Battleshock to enemies, doesn't buff units like other Crypteks. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

In new SM Codex, Reivers ability relatively unchanged but now can have both Bolt Carbine & knives + pistols. Decent range attacks before closing in for melee? #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

Assault Bolters is basically a handheld pistol-version of Heavy Bolters with modification to reduce recoil. So far only issued to Inceptor Squads which they dual-wields them #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I feel like previous edition not many Tyranid players add Carnifexes in list, as many prefer Screamer-Killers or Haruspex as their beat-stick unit Hopefully they'll be better in new 11th Codex #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

0400

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I've noticed Flamers this edition now have 3-4 shots instead of D6 but have Blast ability. Making it better anti-horde weapon vs units like Boyz & Termagants #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Kasrkins ready for urban combat! It was fun painting this camo scheme 👍 #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #warhammer #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I forgot about SM Veteran Intercessors, which before 10th used to have its own datasheets (extra melee attack & better LD compare standard ones) #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

0100

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Necron Synaptic Disintegrator is terrifying. Even non-lethal hit can destroy target's neural tissues, causing them limply fall down "lifeless" & shattered minds #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

0353

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Its crazy that in Hive Fleet Leviathan invaded Milky Way from below galactic plain and later above it in 4th Tyrannic War. A galaxy wide pincer attack. Also the possibility that Leviathan is not even Hive Minds main fleet #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

021

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I see that SM Thunder Hammers now Damage 3 and retain Dev Wounds. Definitely a damage boost especially for Assault Termies #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Really like the Deathwatch banners with each represent which Watch Fortress and the type of Xenos they battle in that sector #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

062

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Interesting. From what I understanding, you can play few Deathwatch unit together with other Chapter/detachments in list? 🤔 #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

110

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

While it makes them a target, SM Ancients carry Chapter/Company standard into battle to inspire & rallying Battle-Brothers looks awesome #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

071

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Now that I think about it, Techmarines would have dual religious belief they must follow. The Machine Cult/Omnissiah as well their Chapter's oath & belief

040

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I think compare standard ones, SM players use Bladeguard Ancients more for +1 Attack ability for BGV. Its single use, but rather strong #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

050

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Just found these amazing Deathwatch conversions made by Adam, with few have re-engineered Xenos weapons. You can see more of them in WarCom link in next post #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Its funny how Apothecary Biologis are more "harmacist" than a healer in tabletop. Cannot heal/recover model but allow unit he leads better killing targets #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Personally, I prefer the design of Patriarch than Broodlord to lead Tyranid Genestealers. The spikes and large brain makes it look more intimidating. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Throwback of my Tyranid Deathleaper, one of my favorite model I've painted years ago #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

040

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

In lore Deathwatch are known to use reversed-engineered Xeno weapons, though so far only Xenophase Blade have a model. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Blood Axes use military tactics, strategies, & stealth is VERY unusual for Orks, with the reason because they're inspired how "humies" fight. Lot of Kommandos are from said Klan #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

020

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Didn't know Tau (used to) have another Broadside battlesuit variant, XV88-2. Heavy Rail Rifles slung under arms & appear less bulky compare current ones #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Its already bad enough Death Guard is harder to kill than normal Marines, but those fighting them also have to face their disease & rot spreading as well #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

070

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Painted few Kasrkins in urban camo. The random patterns really do make them look distinct #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Unsure its state now, but I remember Ghostkeels are popular units for Tau players that almost every list include at least 1 or 2 of them #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

0232

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Beast-Snaggas being more "tribal" Orks that favor traditional weapons & primal style warfare. They're also loves hunting/slaying big monsters & vehicles (which in tabletop gains buff against that type of enemy) #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings

040

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Its funny to me how Tankhammer is literally a rocket strapped on a pole with Orks swung it directly to target at close & explodes, damaging/killing the enemy (including themselves) #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

0191

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Most Plasma weapons having exposed energy coils (that you can paint glow effect) really makes the weapon look more dangerous to both enemy & user themselves

091

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

8th Ed Tyranid Codex refer Hive Fleet Kronos "a maggot eating corruption from an infected wound" really sums up its purpose to combat Chaos forces #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

060

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Between Kasrkin & Tempestus Scions, which of these IG special forces is your personal favorite? (Be it origin, designs and/or tactics)

120

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

The fact unlike standard ones, Krieg Commissars main duty is to restrain DKoK suicidal zeal & stopping them pointlessly throw away their lives (which is wasting resources & man-power) #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings

020

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Hot-Shot Las weapons are powerful than standard ones that (iirc) can punch through Marines ceramite armor, but have fewer shots unless connected to power pack. Mostly used by the elites i.e Kasrkin & Scions/Aquilons #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings

090

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Iirc in lore CSM tend stay away from Helbrutes due to its uncontrollable berserk state, but in tabletop games you want them close by for Dark Pact buff. The irony. 😅

041

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Official artwork depicting Tyranid Carnifex smashing a SM Rhino, with a Hormagaunt on it be like "I helped" #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

060

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

So far Death Guards recently new Character are Lord of Poxes. Curious how it is in game. Stat-wise it looks like a good beat-stick leader unit like Chaos Lord (plus model looks cool) #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings

0140

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Heard Tyranid Biovores are pretty annoying to deal with in tabletop & I can see why. Able spawn spore mines almost anywhere to block opponent's unit and/or make them waste shots just to clear it

020

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

First 2 Red Corsair termies done. Really happy how the dark silver trims turns out #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Dark Apostle might be useful in CSM Renegade Warband detach to un-Battleshocked unit failed in test for Twisted Doctrine in game Single use though, so gotta make it count

020

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

The fact Katar Garrix remain loyal to Huron as long he provides Garrix many victims for him to decapitate. That's some terrifying "hobby" 😅 #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

0123

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Its really cool that each Tyranid Hive Fleets have its own adaptations and method of battle. From Hydras endless swarm tactic to Behemoths brute force of monstrous bioforms

060

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Since Red Corsairs loves plunder, plan to make my Legionaries have few non-CSM parts such as from Primaris (arms, helmet too big?) and 30k stuff

180

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Datasheet wise, Reave-Captain are not as "beat-stick" unit as Chaos Lord. But can reroll charges & infiltrate. I guess he's more on helping Raiders go into objectives & get a kill for their +1OC ability? #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

080

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Cortex Leech is a smaller variant Tyranid Rippers that latches on victims face & controls them. Kinda similar to Headcrabs in Half Life #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

110

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I really like how every Chapter & Chaos Marines have their own signature weapons i.e WE with chain-axes and RG with lightning claws #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings

020

@SpartanB312 @spartanb3126.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Seeing many CSM players favored Rhinos over Land Raiders as their main transport in list. Tbf its very cheap points (65pts) compare LR (220pts) #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings
